Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for July 09, 2024

Isn’t this tryouts? More than one day?

More than the adults? You’re supposed to be the young kid with more energy. I guess he should have spent more time in the gym at juvie.

This month, the words Clover, two, and Milford have been bolder… is this part of a bigger puzzle? Like… be sure to drink your Ovaltine? Or, based on the annoying pop-ups I’m getting every time I post, “use for your real estate needs?”

In all reality, a red car and a distracted driver , I’m staying in bed today!

Gilbot 9k: Shut. Up. And. Quit. Crying.

Relax Hot Rod. You get drafted in this league based on potential. And you are officially part of GilPa’s family. He called you son.

Is anyone else going to be not sad when he flames out?

P 4 (Gil): “…it’s called ‘failure’, son…welcome it!…”

Awww…poor Rod…he just realized playing against grown men is different that playing against pimply-faced high school teenagers. Is this kid really that dumb?

rod just get like 18 goats marry inma and live off her pro wrestling money

I was thinking they were just going to hand it to Rob. Oh well.

i wish henry could do a story on leos barber

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Jun Jun is giving Beth dishwashing lessons.

Keri scores more than anyone, maybe she should be trying out.

Where are they going? A hotel? They all came for this to another city for this? Back to Milford? Does the B League hold tryouts in small towns? What???

Is that another new car for Gil? Does he ever drive the same vehicle? Again, is someone auditing the Athletic Department’s budget? And speaking of budgets, I hope you budgeted some time to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

In what world does ahigh school coach drive his student to a college tryout?

P2.5 (Rod): “I’m a boy and I’m a man, I’m eighteen and I like it.”

Still the “Beth” grin.
